Harmonious with Eolian strains

And as it floats along the plains,
1t is Sirens voice that woos

The tempted other paths to choose,
And wisely mend their dubious

BOSTON, Oct. 20-The startling discovery
was recently made that tho members Of the
great congregation which worshipped in tho
Warren Avenue Baptist Church have for
months been in imminent danger OF q horrible
death every time they entered the building.
About O month ago Inspector Of Buildings
Griffin discovered that the wall on the south
ern side Of the building was bullying. He
climbed to tho roof. and WAS astonished to find
that tho scissors truss that supported the pitch
Of the roof was not bolted together. but was
fastened only with railroad spikes
The wall was out OF plumb fully nine inches.
A peremptory order was issued to vacste the
church. Then a more careful examination
was made with startling results.
The truss was laid bare. and then It was dis
covered that the sole support for tho roof Of
the great building consisted Of three iron rods
one and one-half inches In diameter.
The cross rods were OF no use. because the
wood had shrunk away and the bolts could DO
ratified. The upper and lower chords OF the
truss were made Of eight two-inch planks. and
where the cross rods had been put through and
clinched the auger had cut off one plank and
part Of another, weakening the truss by one
eighth
The lower chord of the truss was cut COM
pletely through In two places. 1t Is said that
1t will cost nearly 5000 900 to repair the church.
which Is one OF the largest In town.

the operation was performed. The porter is
rather eood-looking and proud Of 1t. The
young men at the Dental depot told him six

glittering line OF enamel marred his beauty.
